SUNDAY SPORT.
(To the Editor.)
Sir,—Wm. Anderson has not a very high opinion of the attractiveness of his religion. Indeed, if we are deprived of Sunday tennis, etc., we shall most certainly satisfy our sporting instincts by playing French . cricket in the backyard, .or table tennis, or even “tag.” More probably we would play a hand of bridge or a game of billiards. How would Wm. Anderson like that. The council could not check that any more than it could check going out for a drive to the Esplanade. Certainly most people would not spend the day gloating over Job’s moanings. If we try to suppress Sunday games the position will be made w-orse. Religion will be still less popular. Far from making it less popular, we must make it more popular. We cannot drive people to religion. It is deeper than the surface, so we must attract. We can attract people best by advancing religion to the level of the age —in other words, by modernising it.—l am, etc., INTERESTED.
